Try "lint -p"; on the following program:
mainxxbar()
{
}
mainxxfoo()
{
}
it generates the following diagnostic:
==============
name multiply declared
mainxx futz.c(2) :: futz.c(6)
This also has the effect of checking against a "lint library" for a
portable subset of the standard C library, instead of the full UNIX C
library.
